[red][size 3]We made it up for a coupla hours this morning. Half dead truck battery in the freezing cold to start off so Lavaman beat us up there. Goregous sunny day, no wind, 6-8 inches of solid ice, no fish. It didn't look like there had been many folks up there as the snow from last week had hardly been disturbed on the lake. As soon as I drilled the first hole my son put his boot in it up to the laces to clear the ice so I knew from there we were cutting it short - go fishing/take your kids fishing [
]. We tried sweedish pimples with an ice fly dropper tipped with crawler and a Rapala jig out from the dam. No sonar so it was drill and miss. Jigged from top to bottom a few times, no takers. Did have our worm stolen from a hole right next to shore for some real excitement. Quit early with a pair of frozen wet socks.[/size][/red]
